This course is based on the Craig Nakken text “Reclaim Your Family from Addiction”. The focus of the material is on what happens to the “we” of a family when one member opts for the blind and single-minded “me” of addiction.
In an instructive and reassuring way, Craig Nakken explains just how families and couples who have spent years building a life together can lose their cohesive identity and meaning in the wake of addiction.
With histories, stories and the latest research, this book helps readers chart their own way out of the hell of addiction and back to the fullness of family by using principles that restore the “we” of lasting, loving, relationships.
